gargle with warm sal****er...drink tea with lemon and honey. Stay hydrated and do not talk. You have a week..you should be better by then. Hugs, Dori

You know, I was approved on Valentine's day and right away got the flu... I was so happy (perversely) because it meant I would NOT get sick before my surgery a week from tomorrow. I didn't know then taht I would still have the sniffles STILL today... I think my brain has been replaced by a sea of snot! Hopefully I'll feel better by surgery time.

Relax, stress will only make you heal more slowly. Keep up the warm liquids and the quiet. crushed ice will also help take the swelling down...just let it melt in your mouth Also, if it is only larygitis, that shouldn't deter the surgeon. An infection might. curl up with a good book and a blanket and rest.

Girl.. i SO feel your pain! I can't sleep at night for fear that i may get sick and will have to postponed. i teach 2nd grade and i even took this whole week off so i wouldn't be "exposed" to all the stuff going around. the fear is taking over my body. i was on two rounds of anti-biotics and i still have some congestion. Have you seen your pcp? mine gave me my antibiotics, of course.... do you think you need to get a shot of them or something? of course, i just found this post... you may be feeling all better by now. i really hope so. just wanted you to know that i SO feel your pain. my surgery is the 19th.. let's hang in there.
